Tarnish on copper is the compound CuO. A tarnished copper plate is placed in an aluminum pan of boiling water. When enough salt

is added so that the solution conducts electricity, the tarnish disappears. Imagine that the two halves of this redox reaction were separated and connected with a wire and a salt bridge.
Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials:

Al3++3e-?Al; E?=?1.66 V
Cu2++2e-?Cu; E?=0.340 V

Answer:  2.00 V

Explanation:

The balanced redox reaction is:

2Al+3Cu^{2+}\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}+3Cu

Here Al undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Copper undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials.

Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al E^0_{[Al^{3+}/Al]}=-1.66V

Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=0.340V

E^0=E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}- E^0_{[Al^{3+}/Al]}

E^0=+0.34- (-1.66V)=2.00V

Thus the standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Use the balanced equation given below to solve the following problem; Calculate the volume in liters of CO produced by the react
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: 40.3 L

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

\text{Moles of} Sb_2O_3=\frac{175g}{291.5g/mol}=0.600moles

Sb_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 2Sb+3CO  

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of Sb_2O_3 produces = 3 moles of CO

Thus 0.600 moles of Sb_2O_3 will produce=\frac{3}{1}\times 0.600=1.80moles  of CO

Volume of CO=moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=1.80moles\times 22.4L/mol=40.3L

Thus 40.3 L of CO is produced.

Which of these statements is false? (A) Acetylene (ethyne) can be converted to the acetylide anion by treating with a strong bas
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

(C) Acetylene (ethyne) can be converted to the acetylide anion by treating with a strong base such as CH₃​​Li.

Explanation:

Acetylene (C₂H₂) can be converted to the acetylide anion (C₂⁻²) when treated with a base because it will donate protons (2H⁺). So it will be a neutralization reaction. NaNH₂ and NaOH are strong bases because they are good electrons donators ( NaNH₂ has pair of electrons on N, and NaOH has the group OH⁻), but CH₃Li has no pair of electrons to donate, so it's not a strong base.
